Hi Nithin, I think we can avoid adding a new config file variable. We can make the default behavior such that vlan discovery will continue until all vlans are discovered for all devices. My opinion is that the user has specified "FCOE_ENABLE=yes" and "AUTO_VLAN=yes" so we should continue to try until we have a successful fcoe connection on a vlan. I think that beyond that simple point we should consider the timeout period between retries and if it makes sense to increase that retry timeout as time goes on, assuming no vlans have been discovered yet. We don't need to address this immediately. //Rob _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.open-fcoe.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
